It’s great seeing women coming together with a passion for STEM. I’m always looking for new science podcasts and/or blogs to check out to learn more about research news, science outreach and different STEM-ers doing great things. If you have any suggestions leave a link in the comments section.

If you want to listen to a quick episode while enjoying your morning tea check out the (Micro)Bio episodes. The (Micro)bios are short podcast episodes spotlighting different women in science. If you are a woman in science and want to submit your (Micro)Bio you can submit your (Micro)Bio here.

What gets me excited about STEM:

Doing research, being creative, helping STEM students and sharing my STEM experience with young women in STEM. This is one of the reasons I started blogging.

I’m looking forward to the next Beyond the (Micro)Scope and highly recommend this podcast! What science podcasts do you listen to? Share below.
